If you are a night intern, you will be scheduled for the same night each week. On most nights, you will be expected to arrive at 6:30 PM and stay until after the shows are over and the theater and training center have been cleaned. Your "closing time" can vary, depending on how busy it is that night. The bartender checks you out once your shift is complete.

Tech InternsTech interns run tech during DCH shows. They work one night a week in exchange for their classes. Tech interns are trained four weeks prior to the start of their term. All tech interns report to and are trained by the DCH Technical Director, Cesar Villa. All tech intern candidates must have completed level 3 improv at DCH and must have a recommendation from their most recent instructor.

Blog InternsBlog Interns write for the DCH blog. They are responsible for pitching and submitting one original story per week for the entire term. Each blog intern has a set day of the week their story is published. Anyone applying for a blog internship must be prepared to show samples of writing. We can not accept someone as a blog intern without viewing a sample of their writing.

Street Team Interns Street Interns are responsible for passing out DCH promotional flyers and posters around DFW. Street team interns are given a supply box full of flyers and posters and promotional items and they are responsible for restocking their boxes when they have passed out all their material. Street Team interns are given designated areas of DFW where they are responsible for flyering and passing out promotional material.

Graphic Artist Intern Graphic Artist interns create posters and other promotional print material for DCH. They are usually responsible for one piece of artwork per week for the term. Artwork will be different each week, as it is dependent upon the shows and events going on at DCH at that time. Anyone applying for a blog internship must be prepared to show samples of their artwork. We can not accept someone as a graphic artist intern without viewing some samples of their work first.

FAQ'S

Who can apply for a DCH internship? Anyone can apply. However, preference may be given to currently enrolled DCH students, as we look to our instructors for referrals on their current students who have applied for the internship. If you are not a current DCH student, you can still apply. We will need two references we can contact.

How much can I save off of tuition with a DCH Internship?You will receive one term of tuition in exchange for a term of interning.

I have a commitment that may cause me to miss a shift or two, can I still intern and get that sweet discount?The expectation is that if you accept an internship, you will be able to commit to the entire term. However, life happens – and you can swap shifts with another intern if there is an emergency. Interns who swap an excessive number of shifts may be removed from the program.

What else do I get?In short, having an internship is the easiest way to get the most out of your DCH education. In addition to that sweet discount, you’re now on the fast track to getting involved with the theater. You’ll meet performers and faculty more quickly than if you were only taking classes, and you’ll also get to see more shows, all supporting your improv education.

I can’t commit to a weekly internship schedule but I have (videography, audio, web development, etc.) skills I’d like to offer in exchange for classes.We accept service internships on a case by case basis. If you think you have a skill that the theater would benefit from, we’d love to hear about it and see if it works. When applying for an internship, please check the "OTHER" option on the form and tell us what service(s) you can provide that you feel would be helpful to DCH.
